FL has decided that he was gonna leave the tomb , due to the watchmen arriving.Friar tries to help juliet before leaving the tomb by saying,”stay no to question, for the watchmen is coming;come,go, good Juliet,I dare no longer to stay.” Leaving Juliet all alone at the tomb by herself, when she needed him the most causes Juliet to commit suicide.Both Romeo and Juliet now have died to irresponsibility of Friar.

Soon after the death of Tybalt, Paris - the man trying to marry Juliet - meets with Capulet to discuss marriage. Capulet allows Paris to marry Juliet. However, Juliet is already married to Romeo, so she asks the Friar for help. Friar Lawrence, doing the thing he thought was right, devised a plan to help Juliet get out of the tough situation. He comes up with a potion that will make appear dead, so that when she is in her family’s crypt, Romeo will retrieve her and they would live happily with Romeo, away from their feuding parents.

Romeo and Juliet deceive others due to the poor guidance they receive about their situation. They resort to deceit as a resolution for their desperate situations. Friar Laurence performs their secret marriage as he believes that this alliance could ‘…Turn [their] household’s rancour to pure love’. Juliet is later forced to marry Paris and asks the Nurse for assistance. The Nurse replies that Juliet is ‘…better in this second match’. The Nurse helped Juliet to marry Romeo but as the situation becomes tricky, she betrays Juliet and encourages her to marry Paris; she provides poor guidance in doing so. This poor advice convinces Juliet to consider a plan involving a ‘desperate… execution’. This desperate execution is provided to Juliet by Friar Laurence who provides Juliet with a potion that puts her in a sleep like death. The Friar

Juliet proves that emotion is the enemy of decision making through her actions with Friar Lawrence and her family. Capulet pressures Juliet to marry Paris at the church on Thursday, but Juliet persistently declines. After Juliet’s fight with Capulet and Lady Capulet, she states, “I’ll to the Friar to know his remedy. If all else fails, myself have power to die” (3.5.242-243). Juliet is explaining her last resort if all else fails. Instead of Juliet contemplating about her own death, she should have considered making other plans to resolve her issues. Additionally, Juliet goes on to to drink a potion that makes her seem dead for two days so that she will be able to be with Romeo, who was banished from Verona. Friar Lawrence gives the potion to Juliet saying, “Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink thou off, when presently through all thy veins shall run a cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease” (4.1.96-100). Juliet then accepts the potion stating, “Give me, give me! O, tell not me fear!” (4.1.124). Juliet lets her love for Romeo rein supreme and influence her to drink something that could kill her, just so that she could be with Romeo. Because Juliet caved in, she will pay for her mistakes

Juliet took a Potion that put her into a deep sleep, which in result made her family think she was dead. Also making Romeo think the same thing, he went to her grave site to take his own life, there he had an encounter with her fiancé, Paris, and they engaged in a fight and shortly after killing Paris Romeo took his own life. A short time after Juliet awoke from her deep sleep she discovered that her husband and fiancé were dead and took her own

Friar Laurence simply influenced Romeo’s decision, it was ultimately Romeo and Juliet's decision to carry on with the marriage. In addition, Friar Laurence was put under immense pressure to marry the two lovers to promote peace or to stop the marriage and not be part of such a sinful act. Friar Laurence's inability to execute the most crucial aspect of the plan puts him at fault for the death. After being banished from Verona, wedding plans for Paris and Juliet being to start. Juliet has forsaken her love to Romeo, and decides that her marriage will be done with only one person, which is Romeo. The Friar promises Juliet that he will reunite them and they can live happily by telling Juliet “Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, and hither shall hem come; and he and I shall watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua” (4.1.114-117). The Friar begins to tell Juliet that his plan is foolproof, and it will help them escape safely into Mantua where they can live happily ever after. As the play continues on into act 5, Friar Laurence begins to send out his letter to Romeo. However, Friar John comes back to Verona and tells Friar Laurence “I could not send it—here it is again, nor get a messenger to bring it thee” (5.2.14-16). Friar Laurence is most to blame because he is unable to perform the most vital part of the plan. If Friar Laurence knew that the letter

In Act IV of Romeo and Juliet, things start looking up for Juliet as Friar Lawrence gives her a potion to fake her death so she will able to escape with Romeo. Hurrying to the Friar’s cell to seek help, Friar Laurence tells Juliet to plead for forgiveness and she would drink a poison that will fake her death for 42 hours. Leaving Friar’s cell Juliet hurries home to plead for forgiveness and that she will agree to Paris’ marriage. After being forgiven Juliet is starting to have doubts about the potion, but drinks it anyways. Going on at the same time, the Capulet family is preparing for the wedding in the morning. In the morning, the Nurse discovers Juliet’s “dead” body and everyone is confused and saddened at the sight of their child

Friar Laurence’s character flaws greatly impacted the end result of the play. The Friar should be punished for his poorly made decisions throughout Shakespeare’s story. His first mistake was when he initially helped Romeo and Juliet with the aid of the Nurse. Both Romeo and Juliet are children and their parents should be included in every decision made for them. The Friar married Romeo and Juliet in Act 3 of the play. “Till Holy Church incorporate two in one” (3.1.37) The marriage was the start of many issues. Such as Juliet’s inability to wed Paris, being a married lady. This led to Friar’s next choice of giving Juliet the sleeping potion—making her appear dead. “Take this vial, being then in bed,” (4.1.93) Giving Juliet the poison was the reason why so many characters had died in the end of Act 5 of the play. Paris had died fighting Romeo because he thought he was attempting to steal Juliet’s “dead” body. Romeo, ignorant of the fact that Juliet was not dead, killed himself. Juliet committed suicide because of her fiancé lying next to her lifeless. The poison given by Friar

The hatred between the Montagues and the Capulets triggered Friar Laurence to give Juliet a sleeping potion, an action with grave consequences. Her dilemma is that her father, Capulet, is ordering her to marry Paris but she can't because it would go against her religion because she is married in secret to Romeo. Juliet asks Friar Laurence for a solution to her dilemma. The Friar proposes that Juliet take a special potion that would make it seem like she were dead. This is the Friar's instructions to Juliet as to when to take the potion and the effects of the potion:

Friar Lawrence's Deadly Support “Hold daughter I do spy a kind of hope”(183). Spoken by Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeare's famous romantic tragedy, and describes his support towards Romeo and Juliet; however, sometimes helping someone does more harm than good. In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, support is shown in more than just one way. Friar Lawrence's willingness to support Romeo and Juliet ultimately causes their deaths.

However, Romeo never receives word of what Friar Laurence and Juliet have done, because he never got the letter from Friar John. When Friar John comes back to Friar Laurence, and says he could not find Romeo so he could not deliver the message to him Friar Laurence makes his way towards the Capulet tomb alone. Romeo is also on his way to Juliet's tomb thinking she is dead, and he carries with him a vile of poison to kill himself by his lover's side. Though Friar Laurence may have been closer Romeo arrives first at Juliet's tomb and finds Paris there, after a short duel Romeo kills Paris and continues to Juliet who is still in a death like state. Once by Juliet’s side Romeo thinking his love Juliet is dead proceeds to drink the poison he brought with him killing

(1021). Juliet consumes the potion and her nurse discovers her in her room and believes she is deceased. The Friar encourages the Capulets to bury Juliet in a rushed funeral. Staying to

Instead she meets Romeo. Later on Lord Capulet agrees to the marriage of Paris and Juliet and wants them to be married in three days. Lady Capulet then relays the news to Juliet and says that Lord Capulet will disown her if she doesn’t marry him. Juliet is upset by the news and then goes to Friar Lawrence for help. He then makes the plan for her to drink the poison the day before her wedding so she won’t get married to Paris. The day before the wedding Juliet drinks the poison as planned and the nurse comes in to find her “dead” in her bed and they then prepare for her burial. Romeo is informed by his servant and goes to where juliet is after the funeral and then drinks his poison that kills him and as he does that Juliet wakes up and sees Romeo dead and as a result she ends up killing herself because Juliet wants to be with Romeo and sees that he is dead.

Juliet Capulet is supposed to marry Paris, due to their society pressuring young girls to get married at a young age, in order to show a hierarchy. Despite this marriage, Juliet falls in love with with the family rival, Romeo Montague, at a masquerade party. The free will Juliet possess has many consequences, including convincing Friar Laurence to marry her and Romeo, kissing Romeo on the balcony, and swallowing the sleeping potion. All of the choices Juliet made are her own, and she chooses them all on based on her free will. One example of Juliet 's free will is mentioned in the first scene when Romeo met Juliet on

In the beginning, Paris is found talking to the friar. There talking about the marriage and how it will work. Soon after, Juliet comes to the church to talk to the friar. With that Paris approaches Juliet talking about how they’re going to get married and leaves Juliet with a kiss. Soon after Juliet and the friar goes to a private place to talk about Romeos exile. In the middle of their discussion Juliet attempts to commit suicide, but Friar Lawrence stopped her with a plan to get Romeo and Juliet together. The friar created a potion which shutdowns the body to make It seem like your dead for a certain amount of time.
